Europe's Oldest and Most Celebrated Tree, The Major Oak, Dies at 1,000 Years Old
The Major Oak, a 1,000-year-old ancient tree in Sherwood Forest, England, has died after failing to produce leaves this year. Stressed by hot, dry summers and historical interventions, the tree's decline was likely hastened by climate change and human admiration. It will remain standing as a habitat for wildlife.
